Kids broke your iPad?

Did you ever check out this site "Sh*t My Kids Ruined"?  Well just to be fair, "technically" I'm not sure if my 20 month old son did break it or it just happened to be a glitch while he was operating it?  The screen had totally blacked out but you could still see faint images..barely.  Anyhoo I was gutted!  Hurried over to the Apple store at J Avenue hoping that it would still be under warranty but just my luck (or lack of it) the warranty had just expired--like a month ago!!   It was going to cost 14,000 baht (almost $500) for a replacement!  Practically like buying a new one!!!  You could probably guess my answer and so I hit the Google search engine and found a thread about others that had the same horrific fate.  Came across Tan Telecom, took it in, got it fixed in less than an hour and for less than 2,500 baht ($80)***cue heavenly harp music***!!!!  Love this country!!!! 

We can all help...

I admit I've had my weak moments...when I just got tired and couldn't bother to care since it seemed all too daunting but since having kids I have been more driven to do more and be more, if that makes any sense?  I wanted to write this post in hopes that I might be able to convince others that recycling is really easy, even if you're living in a condo with limited space.  My hubby says the building cleaning crew usually sorts it but why not make it a little bit easier for them too?  All you need are some laundry baskets and there you have quick and easy recycling bins!  We have one for plastics/glass, paper and another pile just for  newspaper.  I hope you might consider starting this and getting your family into the beautiful habit of recycling.  Each one of us can make a difference for our children's future!

Thainie Tip: Easy Cheap iPad Wrap

Wanted to share this tip for those that might use their iPad in the kitchen.  I was following a recipe from Pinterest (again) but flour and other seasonings were attacking my iPad and so I thought about plastic wrap.  Oh holy kitchen gods!!!!  It actually works with the plastic wrap on!!!  Also helps if you have greasy hands but need to scroll the recipe.  Might consider wrapping it permanently for my kids!
